Toronto: The secessionist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) has given a call to pro-Khalistan elements to “picket” Air India’s outbound flights from the Canadian airports in Toronto and Vancouver on December 1.
The call from SFJ’s general-counsel Gurpatwant Pannun came soon after the National Investigation Agency (NIA) filed charges against him and the separatist organisation under several sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act on November 20.
“Pannun’s assertion and threats have triggered a high alert as well as investigations by security forces in Canada, India and other countries where Air India flies,” a release from NIA had said.
